4:00 AM AEDT | Letters to the editor for Monday, March 15
13 Mar 10 | WHAT a peculiar and ugly world we live in these days. The latest example is the gross nudity featured at the (Sydney) Opera House. Five thousand people, with no sense of responsibility, hypnotised into dispensing with their clothes.
13 Mar 10 | NOT Dawkins again ... and his kindergarten-level babble about how a statistically meaningless principle explains (away) life. Richard, you won’t graduate from kindy until you realise, that without devising an adequate theory of consciousness – and the nature of its increasing complexity over time – you haven’t even begun to “explain” evolution.
13 Mar 10 | ON Saturday, March 6, myself and four others stopped to help a young man who had had a bad fall off a push bike.
13 Mar 10 | THANK you to all the staff at The Leader for their friendliness and help with starting my business.
Annie Williams
13 Mar 10 | IN reference to the many articles published over the last few weeks, I feel it is pertinent to comment on a recent episode of Animal Rescue, screened on Wednesday, March 3.
12 Mar 10 | ONLY the gullible couldn’t be at least slightly cynical about pollies and their perks.
It’s the only time the two sides of politics agree on anything.
12 Mar 10 | FOR 19 years the Nioka palliative care ward has given wonderful, caring service to the citizens of Tamworth and district.
12 Mar 10 | MYSELF and a few of my friends manned the canteen at the North Tamworth League Club on Saturday, February 27, for the Greater Northern Academy Carnival.
11 Mar 10 | I AM bemused if not amused by I. Goor’s recent contributions reminding us about some of the flaws of the former Howard/Anderson/Vaile government, which I suspect Ms Goor hopes will attenuate for the failures and stuff-ups of the current Rudd Labor government.
11 Mar 10 | OH, bad luck AGW alarmists, the EPA and American government are being sued by the coal industry for fraudulent scientific reports (Al Gore et al and the IPCC) regarding global warming and its association with CO2 emissions. Particularly coal and its energy input.
10 Mar 10 | WHILE K Rudd and W Swan are talking up the Australian economy, and T Abbott and J Hockey are trying to quieten B Joyce, serious thinkers are prepared to write such things, about finance, that would make one have complete faith in Barnaby Joyce knowing what he is talking about.
09 Mar 10 | BEFORE Christmas I was a patient at Tamworth hospital once again. I pen the following ode that describes my feelings towards the staff at this hospital.
09 Mar 10 | I RECENTLY bought a baby ferret, they are the funniest creatures. They run around with their back hunched up baring their teeth and attacking everybody around.
09 Mar 10 | SO, after all his sneering and mud-slinging about Kevin Rudd’s ability to run the country, it turns out that Tony Abbott can’t be left on a quad bike for more than a few minutes without getting lost.
09 Mar 10 | I DON’T know what economic crystal ball the Reserve Bank is looking at, but to this point in time, the optimism conveyed by Glenn Stevens for an economic recovery is not shared by a large percentage of ordinary Australians.
06 Mar 10 | I FEEL sorry for people on pensions and on the dole.
I have recently started my own business and now have a reason to get up in the morning.
06 Mar 10 | IT IS about honouring the sacrifice on Anzac Day.
06 Mar 10 | MR RUDD’S announced that his Government will “fix” all hospitals everywhere, at a cost of $90 billion over five years.
